Short summary
A novel data analysis technique for recovering three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic field structures from in situ measurements by two satellites is applied for the first time to a magnetic flux rope observed by the THEMIS spacecraft near the Earth's subsolar magnetopause. We found that the flux rope resulting from multiple X-line reconnection was significantly 3-D and consisted of the field lines with different topologies, suggesting a complex interaction of the solar wind and the magnetosphere.
